Alterations in the matrix, interface and aggregate were, also observed by these analyses.
A key feature is that if significant property enhancements are to be achieved, then optimal control of the nano-particulate dispersion, the particle-polymer matrix interface and processing are essential.
Based on experimental observations from 240 pull-out tests for various temperatures, displacement rates, and fiber dimensions, pull-out failure modes are classified into three types: matrix, interface, and mixed failure modes.
The crack formation and alterations in the matrix, interface and aggregate of HSCs were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and polarized light microscope (PLM) analyses.
Consistent with previous studies of the contact inhibition model [ 22], these three parameters are the diffusion coefficient, sensitivity to the chemoattractant at cell-matrix interfaces and cell-cell adhesion.
Fiber, fiber-matrix interface and matrix phases are considered within the RVE in determining fiber-matrix interface debonding and matrix cracking.
Inverse simulations are performed to separate the mechanical behavior of the matrix, the fiber-matrix interface and the fibers.
Using this technique, we were able to obtain traction forces at the epithelium-matrix interface, and to resolve and quantify patterns of mechanical stress throughout the surrounding matrix.
Degradation models for calibrating fatigue-induced deterioration of the fibre-matrix interface and fibre fatigue rupture are proposed at the microscale.
Hence, the observed embrittlement of the composite can be ascribed partly to the changes in the hybrid matrix and the fibre-matrix interface, and partially to fibre embrittlement.
